A horrible thing just happened today...my god damned friend dropped my universal down from 3 feet height...nothing really has happened, but the edges are bruised...a little paint chipped off at a couple places....small deformations in the contours :-(
he says....."duh....sorry"
i'm all freaked out here :-(
now.... the question
is the body/ outer shell of the universal replacable?
if yes, how much does it cost and where can I order it from?
arghhh :-(
thanks,
San
PS: if you don't have an answer, or nothing to say at all, atleast sympathize for me!!
Presumably, you mean "ex-friend" ;-)
Cheers,
Steve

dreamtheatre39, I am so sorry. I know you waited so long for your Qtek. I suggest you friend should start saving now for your birthday - perhaps a replacement?
I too am very careful with my EXEC. I want it to last forever or at least till its next Pocket PC phone upgrade. I would really hate it if my EXEC would get any scratch or defect due to handling, especially if it is not my fault. So I do understand your frustration.

Would have had to carry him out in a pine box, if it had been mine!
pine? cardboard at a push :wink:
send it back under the insurance for the device?
thanks everyone!
I guess only people who own a universal will know how valuable it is....I am over obsessed with my gadget, and have constantly been "over protective" since i've got it! I keep a "wipe" sandwiched in the clam shell al the time to prevent scratches on the keyboard and display.....I keep wiping off the dirt at 5 minute intervals thru the day!
and in the name of satan why o why is it meeee to suffer this wretched wrath :-(
Can anyone tell me if its possible to change the outer casing? Is it complicated and too difficult to do so?
Thank you all once again!
San
I think only contact with HTC or where you bought Universal to see what they can do , my PDA2K got replace by HTC.
Hi!!!
Sad to know...but I can tell u the goodthing that IT IS POSSIBLE to have a new body..Entire casing can be changed..so do not worry.As of now the stocks are not there as it is just launched officially in India...In case I get a dead one with a Good Body, will let u know...I am based in Pune....
I can relate dreamtheater.... I dont think I can trust any friend with my device without constant guidance. Even my husband has to be under my eye when he's tinkering with my dopod.
Is it still under warranty? Then maybe it can be replaced... or maybe you can always give subtle or not so subtle hints to your friend (if he is really a friend) to replace it...
Good luck
hey!
hee hee I wish i could give those *subtle* hints lol
It really is not so bad, frankly speaking....but, the freak that I am....makes me soooo damn fussy about things, and i keep looking at those tiny abrasions all the time....and cant get it off my phucking head :x
I'll just have to wait until I screw it up a little more, and by that time....I'd possibly get an outer casing so that I could slip it in some new clothes!
Until then.....
cheers and have a great new year guys (n angelika!)!

Hey DT,
That really sucks mate.
Your friend should really take responsibility for this, but i know its not the money. I know you would pay good money to have your universal back in good shape this instant...
I could have helped you if you had a Jasjar since i-mate is based in Dubai, but since you got yourself a qtek, there really isn't anything i can do. However, i do advise you talk to MMB about this as he might be able to arrange for a body from his supplier. No harm in trying!
Dont worry, it will be fine. Also, get yourself a good case like the ones from Piel Frama or a metal case from Brando
Cheers.
Gutted for you m8. Know exactly how you must feel. Been treating my new Wizard like a new born baby since christmas day and wont let anyone touch it. The wife asked to have a look at it and I just told her it was too much phone for her to handle
Im totally anal when I get a new phone and am constantly looking at it thinking it that a scratch. Im thinking of making the whole family shave their heads as head hairs dont half look like scratches from a distance.... Pubic hairs are far easier to spot though :wink:
Hope you sort yourself out m8.

hey m8! how've you been? ;-)
I wonder why I didn't think of asking mmb....I'm sending david a mail right away! He gave me excellent service while I bought it from him, hope hed do his magic once again ;-)
I spent the whole of today trying to find a case for my universal...I looked around for camera cases, waist pouches, n-gage cases.....all of them are either tooo small, or hideously bigg! Gave up....I guess its only piel frama for now :-(
got to keep humans away from my qtek until then

Yes but apparently only because she feels sorry for me that I wouldnt be able to charge my Wizard living on the streets
I always liked the couch anyway :wink:
my baby
I am appalled how easy it is to get the Jasjar scratched, the metal also gets dents so easily. I need to find out the cost of a new cover, I don’t like my baby with imperfections
Three feet? That's like... 3 stories in human-height scale!
Hey, at least your screen didn't crack like http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=36932 jesax's... poor guy.

3 feet indeed :-( it fell right off the table...
lucky for me, I had the cover protecting it....the one that comes with the device....I guess that took most of the impact!
If my screen had cracked....holy hell :O I don't quite know what I would have done!! I couldn't force my friend to buy me a new one, cuz....I would have killed him immediately
anyways, I've decided that i'd live with the scratches :-( considering the fact that it would take me another month and *all* the complications all over & again for me to source it! Now i'm ten times more careful....a little late though :-(
Best,
San
Hi dt,
Doing good mate, thanks.
Just be happy that the incident occurred on the 31st of last year and not the 1st of this year. Otherwise, that would have been a nasty way of starting a new year!
Any response from MMB?
Chin up mate!

That is pretty dinged up. One can always buy a housing though. But the ones I have seen are pretty expensive.
Maybe somebody could get this and a housing and make a How To change housing?
yea she aint pretty but im thinking someone who needs a back up phone for testing roms and such
Wow, I thought mine was in bad shape when someone said "I didn't know those came in black..." "They don't. It's frying grease that's soaked in."
hahaha. I thought I was bad with my phone. I got pissed because I got a little scratch on the screen!
If someone does have info on changing the housing, I might be interested in picking it up. I was gonna buy it to give to my dad so he'd get off his stupid Palm Treo 680 ... but if its all banged up, I would just have to keep it to experiment with then.
Well I'm a cook at one of my jobs and I'd rather keep my wing in my pocket than in my coat or car where it could get nabbed. I guess it's the lesser of the two evils. My screen is flawless though, thank you jerito... I mean screen protectors!

I bought some screen protectors, but I hate them. It just doesnt look or feel right to me. I only have a small scratch on the screen too and that was because my brother threw his keys on it when it was laying in my car. I almost killed him

You may be able to contact this seller to see if he has any instructions.
$150 for that? I'll give you $40.
Amazon was selling them new with contract for $50 - and you can pick up a tilt for only $400...
thank you vr24 for contributing to this thread with your amazing comment
-- no blaming--- edit by papamopps
Man it look like you been chewing on that phone... Either that or trying to skin concrete with it.
yeah, its pretty beat up.
How bout I recycle that thing for you for free? How many times did it go through the wood chipper?
Just outta curiosity...
Are you at least offering up a 1GB MicroSD card with the Wing?
yea theres a 1gb microSD included
bumpskies?

As you can see from these links, the Droid Turbo cases are starting to show up!
http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Droi...=1414355334&sr=8-20&keywords=droid+turbo+case
In the description it says it is made for the Moto G, but obviously the Moto G doesn't look like that. That is a Droid Turbo case...
http://www.case-mate.com/Motorola-D...e-Motorola-DROID-Turbo-Naked-Tough-Cases.asp#
In the description on this one it says it is made for the Moto X but when you click through the pictures it is obvious that it is the Turbo. Interesting thing to note: This one shows the version of the Turbo we saw with the woven kevlar back....
http://www.case-mate.com/Motorola-D...-Mate-Motorola-DROID-Turbo-Caliber-Cases.asp#
Another case from the same site...
http://crosscookie.en.made-in-china...ers-Case-for-Motorola-Droid-Turbo-Xt1254.html
Another case for the Turbo but they are showing another phone inside of the case...
http://hkgs.en.alibaba.com/product/...ver_Case_For_Motorola_Droid_Turbo_xt1254.html
Another case...
There were a few more but you get the point. We're getting close!!
Looking good!
I posted this over in the other case thread but I really hope we see some kind of bumper case for the phone. As large as it's already going to be plus the kevlar back I really don't see the need for a bulky case. Something that sticks out just enough to protect the screen from falls should be plenty.
Or maybe I'll just go naked with it. It looks like it should fit in the hand nicely. My HTC One M7 needed a case to feel comfortable in the hand without slipping. This should be thick enough to feel good in hand.
I also looked at Squaretrade's warranty. $99 for 2 years and only a $75 deductible is a great deal.

I usually put a thin case on my new phones for the first few months because I'm afraid of messing them up but then I usually take it off lol

Yeah I figure if I get the warranty I might as well go naked! If you guys haven't checked, Android Central's Turbo forum has a lot more info circulating around. The device evidently feels VERY good in hand.

Dang they have an insider of there lol. Thanks for the info.
Speaking of accessories, Mime responded to an email that I sent saying that if enough people showed interest they would put out a tempered glass protector for the Turbo. So, if any of you guys are interested shoot them an email.
So I have a 3D printer, the Ultimaker 2+, and I designed a case for my S5 with the official Samsung wireless charging back on it. I'm thinking about designing a flexible case for the S7 Edge that's compatible with tempered glass screen protectors. My question is, does anyone have a 3D printer so I may share it with you? And, no I'm not advertising my product. Everything I create I release for free online. This is merely a heads up to those wanting a case that won't destroy a tempered glass screen protector. I read the rules, and feel that this is allowed, if not then I'm sorry in advance Mods, do with this post as you must, just don't permaban me.
If this is allowed, I would also like some ideas on a case. I designed my S5 case to redirect the speaker to the front of the phone (won't be easy for the S7 though because it's on the bottom) and also allowed a lanyard of some type to be attached. I also created a dock that fit the official Samsung wireless charger inside so I could place my phone on it in my truck to keep it from sliding off as I drove. Any and all ideas will be taken into consideration.
try asking on thingiverse
Have you tried to ask someone from Makerbot "thingiverse" to help you out I would help you but the delivery will be really expensive since I'm from another country.
Sorry I can't help

I don't necessarily need help. I really just wanted ideas on a design that others would like. And no delivery, or charging anything. I don't charge people for what I design.
I have a delta 3d printer i'd be interested in printing a case for this phone, im in need of one too
